Luxury clothing brand Burberry is to close its plant in Rotherham in South Yorkshire, with the loss of 290 jobs. It means the only remaining UK plants will be at Castleford and Keighley, following the closure of its plant at Treorchy, south Wales, in March 2007. It is also closing its Thomas Burberry line in Spain, with the loss of about 250 jobs there. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7839200.stm
